Biography
I completed a BSc in Biochemistry (Pharmacology) 1st class in 2004 and a PhD in Molecular Toxicology with Dr Nick Plant in 2008 both at the University of Surrey. I then undertook post-doctoral research in tumour T cell immunology with Dr Ed James and Professor Tim Elliott at the University of Southampton. In 2011 I worked for a communications agency called Alto Marketing as a science writer, before starting at the University of Westminster as Lecturer in biochemical toxicology.
It was at Westminster that I was given the opportunity to explore my love of teaching. I completed a Pg Cert in higher education in 2013 which introduced a range of teaching and learning styles to try.
In 2015 I started back at the University of Surrey as a teaching fellow, which allows me to focus entirely on interacting with students and helping them to realise their potential.
